The social media website, Twitter, has been in the news after a new paid feature was announced. When something happens on the internet, Twitter is the number one place to go to for reactions and memes. This has caused quite a stir within the website.
The platform has been entertaining netizens since its inception back in 2006. It has given millions the ability to voice their concerns about various topics. Celebrities and politicians actively use it to communicate with fans and voters.
Recently, Twitter announced that it will be launching a new paid feature on Twitter called "super follow." Almost immediately, users swarmed the platform to voice their concerns.
This new feature will allow users to charge their followers for access to exclusive content. Suffice to say, Twitter users were having none of it as #RIPTwitter began trending immediately.
Here are a few reactions from Twitter users:
The writing is on the wall. The verdict is already out before the feature has even launched. No one really wants this paid feature on Twitter, and users are raising their voice against it.
What is the new paid feature on Twitter?
The new paid feature on Twitter known as "super follow" will let users charge followers for access to exclusive content and tweets.
Twitter wants to branch out from its traditional advertising norms and open up new ways to earn revenue. It will also allow users to earn a share of the profits from the paid feature. However, Twitter is yet to disclose the exact percentage.
Similar to Patreon, this new paid feature on Twitter will allow users to charge a certain fee to followers, giving them access to exclusive material. The new paid feature on Twitter can include exclusive content such as newsletters, videos, other forms of media, etc
Here's the statement from Twitter:
“Exploring audience funding opportunities like Super Follows will allow creators and publishers to be directly supported by their audience and will incentivize them to continue creating content that their audience loves."
Twitter is trying to cater to both its investors and users, and there are definite advantages to that. It will allow content creators on the platform to potentially make a decent amount of money.
The new subscription-based model within the platform has definitely irked more people and pleased very few.
